This is for a contest. Tell me what you think! :)

Cleo couldn't believe it. They beat the comet! They had fulfilled their destiny as mermaids! To top it all off, Lewis came back! It had to be one of the best days of her life. It all happened so quickly. She had no idea it would ever happen. If she went back and to her younger self, she would think she was drunk. Her life was perfect. This is what Cleo thought until-

She saw Ryan come into Rikki's.

Cleo knew she had to talk to him. She might as well get it over with now.

"Umm...I'll be right back." Cleo said as she removed her arms from Lewis' neck.

Cleo walked over to Ryan who was talking to Sophie about everything.

"Cleo-" Ryan stated but was cut off by Cleo.

"Ryan, can we talk?" Cleo asked, wanting to get back to Lewis.

"Um...sure." He stated as he took his juice from Sophie.

Cleo lead Ryan into a booth and sat down across from him.

"I saw what you did..." Cleo started

"I'm not sure what your talking about." Ryan said nervously sipping his smoothie.

"You blew up that wall on Mako! That's illegal!" Cleo almost yelled. She was really mad at him.

"I'm sorry! I was stupid!"

"I don't understand why you did it..."

"Well, it was a scientific discovery....and I wanted to get your attention.."

"My attention?" Cleo asked confused.

Ryan sighed, "Cleo...I really like you."

"What!?" Cleo couldn't believe it.

"I know you have a boyfriend overseas....but if he really liked you like I do, he would have stayed."

This made Cleo mad.

"He was going to stay! I told him to go! It's his dream and he deserves it!"

"He seems like an idiot if you ask me!"

"Don't ever talk about him like that!" They were starting to draw a crowd.

"He doesn't deserve you. He would have came back for you!"

"He did! He's here!"

"What!?" Ryan was shocked.

"He came back! He's here with me!"

"He still doesn't deserve you!"

"He's the nicest, smartest, most amazing guy I've ever met!"

Cleo couldn't take this. She hated it when people talked about Lewis negativly.

"Cleo?" A voice said and sat down next to her. "Are you okay?"

"Fine, Lewis."

"Whose he?" Lewis asked referring to Ryan.

"That's Ryan. Ryan, this is my BOYFRIEND, Lewis."

"I meant what I said, Cleo." Ryan started to say.

"And I meant what I said." Cleo got up and took Lewis' hand. "Stay clear of Mako. Please..."

"It's a scientif-"

"Please...." Cleo said once more before she left the cafe.

"Who was he?" Lewis asked as he walked with Cleo along the beach.

"That's Ryan. He works for Sam..."

"Are you friends?"

"He blew up the moon pool's wall."

"What!?"

"It's a long story." Cleo smiled. "What matters is that your here now." with that they kissed in the sunset.
